Lakeland - Winter Haven Area


Have you considered moving to the Lakeland, Winter Haven area in Central Florida? Many have made this move. A recent US Census study shows the child population ages 0-14 increased in these 2 cities by 11% making it to the top 5 metro areas growing in child population from 2020 to 2023 in the nation. Of course, they did not come alone. The study further points out the working age population ages 15-64 also increased 14.3% also making it to the top 5 metro areas growing in the nation.

What is the attraction to this area? There are many reasons for this growth. We will start with it being in Central Florida. You have easy access to Orlando and Tampa without being in the middle of a major city. If you enjoy the beach, you have choices. There is easy access to both coasts being the Gulf of America and the Atlantic Ocean. Did I mention no snow? There are many other draws to this area. If you are considering a move, feel free to contact me to see if this is your destination.

My husband and I have used David twice for our realty needs. Once to purchase our home and recently to sell our home. David is knowledgeable, professional and quick. He kept us updated throughout the entire process and we felt he looked out for our best interest by making sure we were informed with all of the necessary information to make wise decisions. I highly recommend David Shippey!

We were incredibly impressed by David Shippey's exceptional market knowledge throughout the home/ land process. His deep understanding of market trends and the real estate industry helped us make informed decisions at every stage. We truly felt we had the BEST realtor guiding us through the process, ensuring we got all the answers on our future dream home in Florida. It was an absolute pleasure working with David. We highly recommended him.

I honestly can’t say enough good things about David! I was so nervous about buying a house and making sure everything went smoothly as I was also trying to sell a house at the same time. David not only VERY patiently answered my millions of silly questions, he also walked me through every step, making sure I was comfortable with my decision. He tirelessly worked on my behalf and is just a truly amazing person. If I ever buy or sell a house again, the ONLY realtor I will trust is David!
